Bible Engagement has a track record as long as Christianity has existed.
Bible Engagement has a dramatic effect on how we live our lives. A recent George Barna study showed those who had a higher engagement with the Bible had a higher reflection of the fruit of the Spirit, a higher priority on “living their faith” in public, and even a higher satisfaction in life, across the board (Family, friends, work, church and balance)
Bible Engagement is not listening to a sermon on Sunday morning. If Sunday morning is enough for you, then what are you feeding your soul the rest of the week? So at NL we provide the opportunity for you to have daily Bible Engagement by providing 3 different Bible Reading plans you can choose from.

- Read the Bible in a year
- A book at a time (OT book then NT book along with Psalms and Proverbs)
- 5-5-5 (5 minutes a day, 5 days a week, 5 different ways)
These three plans are also available on the YouVersion app. Just search for Discipleship Journal in the PLANS section of YouVersion.
